- Attach Blades: Securely attach the three precisely balanced blades to the fan motor hub using the provided screws. Ensure they are tightened evenly to prevent wobbling.

5. Operating Instructions

- Power On/Off: Use the wall switch connected to the fan's power supply to turn the fan on or off.
- Speed Control: The fan features 3 speed settings. Adjust the speed using the integrated pull chain switch or the dedicated wall regulator (if installed). Pull the chain repeatedly to cycle through speeds (e.g., High, Medium, Low, Off).
- Air Delivery: The wide aluminium blades and high-speed motor (400 RPM) ensure an air delivery of 240 m³/min, providing efficient cooling for your room.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your V-Guard Exado Pro ceiling fan.
- Cleaning (Anti-Dust Technology): The fan is equipped with revolutionary dust-repellent technology and a durable paint coating, which significantly reduces dust accumulation. To clean, ensure the fan is switched off and completely stopped. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the blades and motor housing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Blade Inspection: Periodically check the blades for any signs of damage or warping. Ensure all blade screws are tight. Loose blades can cause wobbling and noise.
